Only a boricua who has been absent from his homeland knows what it's like to be far away from Puerto Rico when winter arrives in New York City. Or when you're inside a taxi or walking through the congested streets of the Bronx or the Latin barrio, and all that you see around you is skyscrapers and more skyscrapers. The anxiety and the feeling of impotence that overwhelm your spirit in the asphalt jungle can be soothed only by memories. In 1975, the unique voice of Puerto Rican singer Angel Luis Canales comforted the thousands of boricuas who felt oppressed by nostalgia with his composition “Lejos De Ti”: a confession and affirmation of his Puerto Rican identity, in which he assures us that his love for the homeland will never die, even though he was raised in New York.The song is a guaguancó with lyrics that evoke images of old San Juan, Villa Palmeras and its rich bomba heritage, Boca de Cangrejos, the fried snacks on the griddle, and the river crossing through the old Ancón de Loíza Aldea, where his grandmother lived.
“Lejos De Ti” is still the most remembered track off “Sabor,” an album produced by the recently deceased Joe Cain, recorded towards the end of 1974 and released by Alegre Records in 1975.
And yet, the entire album is one of the best salsa releases of the '70s. Canales favored a different style of interpreting Afro-Caribbean rhythms, combining elements of Héctor Lavoe, Ismael Rivera, Vicentico Valdés and Paquito Pérez (the singer with Orquesta Zodiac de Loíza). He would extend the melodies with his nasal voice, defying the poetry of the montunos, but singing out of tune and mispronouncing a few words. His diction was far from perfect.
The architect of Canales' success was Colombian pianist Edy Martínez, who arranged seven of the eight tracks in this session. Because of a previous commitment with Mongo Santamaría's band, he left fellow Colombian José Madrid in charge of performing the piano on this record.
Under Martínez's direction, Canales embraced fame. “Sabor” was his second album-- between 1970 and 1971, he had recorded the session “Brujería” with pianist Mark Dimond (a tragig story for a great SALSERO), who founded Conjunto Sabor after spending a number of years with Willie Colón's band.
Canales reappeared four years later with Orquesta Sabor los Rumberos Nuevos. That same year, in 1975, Larry Harlow produced Mark Dimond's classic “Beethoven’s V” with vocalists Frankie Dante and Chivirico Dávila.

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other) and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!
MM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects. They might have some minor superficial (“Paper”) scuff but they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)
NM COVERS: have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
NM PICTURES SLEEVES: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.
VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, no flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.
VG+ RECORDS: may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable
.VG+ COVERS: should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint Unless Tiny/Small (EG: Tiny DH).
VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES: might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location.
VG RECORDS: have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES: will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped a price tag on it, too.
RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"
